High Brow Band of Brothers

When San Franciscan's get it...they get it GOOD. Here's a rallying cry of encouragement I received from Bay Area Patriots for today's Protest Rally against Obamacare in The City:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace there ’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility;
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger:
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.*
You think SEIU thugs are hearing this sort of thing?

Just sayin'

The Gunslinger
Enemy of the Imperial State (EOTIS)

*King Henry V at the seige of the fortified Fort of Harfleur
(Henry V, by W. Shakespeare)

  1. Good,very good...In another situation (i.e., a "teachable moment"),a quote from Shakespeare's "Richard I" would fit Zero. A vain,shallow,pampered Whiz Kid surrounded by sycophants gets in over his head,and...it doesn't end pretty...

  2. Sorry,I meant "Richard II". He confiscates Bolingboke's land,etc. Hadn't seen the BBC DVD production in 10 years...

  3. I knew who you meant. Nicely done!

    Actually, I have a slightly different take than the usual on Hamlet too. He didn't "dither", he over-reached...and look how that ended?

    Remind you of anyone??
